Abstract

The in situ composites based on poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) have been an area of increasing interest and study, since LCP exhibits high chemical stabilities and excellent thermo mechanical properties such as high strength and modulus. In a binary, however, poor compatibility and interfacial adhesions between two phases frequently results in deteriorated mechanical properties. (omitted)
